When we ran Larn 11.0, everything worked fine, both in the original version and in the version which supported other terminal types. Larn 12.0, on the other hand, seems to have problems with the screen display, at least on non-VT100 terminals (we haven't tried it on VT100 terminals). Objects do not disappear after being picked up and/or consumed, and other strange things are sometimes displayed as well. Is the top level (where Home, Bank, etc. are) supposed to be displayed in inverse video. It looks awful. -- Craig D. Singer, Dept. of Computer Science, Duke University Durham, NC 27706-2591.

Read a scroll of "pulveriation" and shoot it off the
screen of the Home Level!
It will reapper of the other side of the screen and leave
alot of bats behind.

have you gotten larn to work on a tvi950 (esprit III) terminal?

I have found that whenever I start a new game, that the 'D' command
shows that I have already learned the 'mle' and 'pro' spells, and I
have found the potion of cure dianthroritis. This is a consistent bug
in the 12.0 version.

You start the game with two 'free' spells and the potion of cure dianthroritis is known so that you will know it when you find it. -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | See these eyes so green?

This is a consistent bug >in the 12.0 version. These are NOT bugs. You "know" the potion of cure dianthroritis (what the hell IS dianthrortis, anyway?) so that you don't "drink" it by accident - there is only one such potion in the whole game. As for knowing 'mle' and 'pro', these are freebies given to you on the easier levels. Just as you are not given armor and weapon to start for the more difficult levels, you are not given the freebie spells, either.

Otherwise you might drink it - and then what?? BTW, I have completed the port of Larn 12.0 to VMS and will be posting the sources to the net within the next week. - Mark Nagel

You also know what the "cure dianthroritis" potion is so you will know what it is when you find it (there is only one). P.S. the same is true for 11.0 I use to be shipley@pavepaws.Berkeley.EDU but pavepaws kicked the bucket...
